Mode Machines ADX1 Demos and Details

ADX-1

ANALOG DRUM MACHINE

Mode Machines brought again the ADX 1, a powerful 5 channel Analogue Drum Expander with individual outputs, MIDI control and infinite amount of sound tones thanks to its generous amount of knobs to control its parameters.
The 5 Channels provide different sound palettes.

We saw mention of the Mode Machines ADX1 back in NAMM of 2015. I ran a quick search on the site for ADX1, and there hasn't been much between now and then. The following are some details via Mode Machines. The ADX1 is based on the original MAM ADX1.

"Mode Machines brought again the ADX 1, a powerful 5 channel Analogue Drum Expander with individual outputs, MIDI control and infinite amount of sound tones thanks to its generous amount of knobs to control its parameters.
The 5 Channels provide different sound palettes.

Metal: Metal is used to create cymbal sounds and consists of two different metallic-sounding Generators. Two filters, Envelope/modulation options, Decay and Release.

HiHat: HiHat consists of one metallic-sounding noise generator and one “clean” signal, Pitch control, mix, modulation, filter, Envelope modulation, Decay and Release.

Snare: The sound of Snare is created by one metallic-sounding noise generator through two band pass filters connected in parallel, Decay and Release.

Synth: Is used to create sounds like bells or synthesizers and consists of 3 sinus Oscillators. FM and Bend for a wide palette of sounds, Attack and Release.

Bass: Consists of one sinus oscillator, with pitch control. Additional Overtones can be created by frequency modulation. Attack simulates the 'Pluck' of a bass string, Release to control the length and Distortion available for dirtier sounds."

New Synth Gear and Makers in January 2015

After this year's massive New Years post, I thought it might be interesting to see how many new makers and new gear announcements we received in a single month.

This may or may not become a monthly theme on the site depending on interest.  If you think it's worth while, leave a comment.

At a high level we had 12 new makers, one new old maker previously never featured on the site, and a whopping 193 new synth related products. Check out the module list below.  The list is a combination of what was either announced or released this month.

The list in order of appearance:

Nova Musik - Mode Machines new products with Julian Calvo Orquin at NAMM 2015

Published on Jan 28, 2015 Nova Musik

Note: the SEQ12 is not new, the others are.

"Check out great deals on Mode Machines products at Nova Musik: http://www.novamusik.com/mode-machine...

Julian Calvo Orquin introduces three new Mode Machines products at NAMM 2015 and provides a direct-in audio demonstration afterwards.

Mode Machines SEQ12 12-Track Matrix Sequencer is a powerful rackmountable step sequencer for MIDI production and live performance. Tracks can be monophonic, polyphonic or put into a special drum mode. It has two modulation busses for MIDI CCs and modulation envelopes can be ‘drawn in’ on its button grid. SAW12 has one MIDI in and three MIDI outs.

Mode Machines ADX1 Analog Drum Machine [based on the MAM ADX1] features five analog drum voices with eight controls per voice for a total of 51 front panel knobs; there are no menus or button combinations—every parameter is instantly available. The five individual channels can be triggered via front panel buttons, via MIDI or via five trigger inputs. ADX1 also has individual outputs for each drum voice as well as a stereo main output.

Mode Machines vPed is a ‘virtual pedal board’ that hosts VST plug-in effects and instruments. Individual plug-ins can be activated and deactivated with a simple press of a footswitch. It also has four expression pedal inputs and four momentary footswitch inputs. Its large color screen and intuitive interface allow quick editing of VST plug-ins without a keyboard or mouse.

Mode Machines CerebelUSB is a small, portable USB MIDI to DIN MIDI converter that transforms any class compliant MIDI USB controller to a standard 5-pin MIDI device. It also functions as a USB hub, merging multiple connected USB controllers into a single MIDI signal."

MAM ADX1 Analog Drum Percussion Synth

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

via the seller: "Very rare, Music and More analog drum synthesizer. Very unique drum and percussion tones can be created here with all of those sound shaping parameter knobs.

It can make sounds similar to the Vermona DRM1 and 80's electronic drum modules (Simmons & Tama), however, it has it own very unique sound creating palette and character, which I will definitely miss.

Sounds are triggered by MIDI and there are separate outputs for each channel.

This unit is in nice used functional condition. See pics for the cosmetic details. The top left corner got dinged resulting in some paint chipping, I placed a little black electrical tape over it, which looks nicer."

Not the best pic but you don't see these too often. This one sent in by the seller. Remember you can send in your auctions as well. They will go up either here or MATRIXSYNTH-B depending on the rarity of the item and the quality of the pics. Be sure to check out B daily as stuff goes up all the time.

"These drum machines are very hard to come by and are fantastic to use. 5 drum channels - bass, synth, snare, hihat and metal. Separate outs for each drum, or stereo out to mix them together (and pan!) MAM were bought by vermona who ended up developing this machine into the DRM III. A very unique feature of this drum machine is that each channel features a randm (sample & hold) modulation of either the voice pitch or filter cutoff. (see vid below) All analogue, all phat. Very sad to see it go but I need the money! Front panel is immaculate, minor scratch to the underside. Comes with UK power supply, there is electrical tape around the wire directly next to the wall wart section of the power supply unit, due to the wires becoming exposed."

Video 4:
"This is an example of my (2) Music From Outer Space Soundlab Pluses that I recently finished. The SL on the right is sending LFO and AR to the CV inputs on the SL on the left. The Moog cp251 is being used as a mult and also the LFO is slowly sweeping the VCF CV on the left SL. Theres is also a AR signal being sent to trigger the SH-101 and from the 101 CV out back into SL 2s oscillator CV. Both of the Soundlabs are using the S&H function as well...

This was recorded in Ableton with a little verb and compression. This was just a patch making beautiful soundscapes not a musically piece.

PCBs for the Soundlab can be found at Musicfromouterspace.com

front panels were designed by mike at Planetsynth

Construction by me (Rico)"

Video 5:
"Heres a little spur of the moment test I did with my recently finished MFOS 10 step sequencer. The sequencer is triggering AS Europa thru trigger sync and the Europa is running the Access Virus TI Snow, the MAM ADX1, and the TR606 Exfade mk2 by midi. The synthesizers.com modular, and 2 MFOS Soundlab Plus Mini Synths are being controlled by the sequencers cv / gate outs. This was done to see how everything would sync to the sequencer and meant as a written piece of music. The sequencer has 3 cv outs, gate out and trigger out. If you have ny questions feel free to leave them in the comments. I also used an EH Memory Man for reverb...

This was done to see how everything would sync to the sequencer and not meant as a written piece of music. If you have ny questions feel free to leave them in the comments.

The Soundlabs and the 10 Step were built by me but I still have a few bugs here and there to work out, for the most part though Im very pleased with them.

There were also a few clicks and pops in the bounce that Im trying to track down. There was no clipping of any of my outputs throughout the signal chain and I am not too sure where they are coming from.

Thank you for your comments Sorry bout the shaky hands and the dangling camera cord!!!!"

MAM ADX1

via this auction

"MAM ADX1 analogue drum synth. Comes with 5 different sound sections that have all their own output + 2 main panned outputs. Midi In/Thru with midi in selectable channel via a DIN switch. The device doesn't have a internal sequencer but it can be played manually. Capable of producing some of those classic sounds (especially for the Hihat) and also comes with an FM extension that makes wacky percussion sounds. Modulation (LFO) on the metal, synth and bass section enable to produce a different sound at each hit."
